A tyre with more pressure than recommended by the manufacturer will cause...
A)Greater wear due to heating.
B)Lack of grip on the asphalt.Correct
C)Greater grip of the tread on the pavement.
It is important to check tyre pressure at least 1 or 2 times a month. We will do it cold and respecting the pressures recommended by the manufacturer. Bear in mind that a tyre with incorrect pressure wears unevenly, presents a greater risk of bursting and may increase fuel consumption.
* With pressure lower than indicated by the manufacturer:
- They wear more on the edges.
- They deform and heat up more.
- The risk of blowout increases.
- Grip decreases and the risk of aquaplaning increases (the tyres cannot disperse the layer of water on the road and lose grip).
- Consumption increases.
* With pressure higher than indicated by the manufacturer:
- They wear more in the centre.
- The contact area with the road and grip decrease.
- They do not absorb terrain irregularities well (they vibrate more and the suspension deteriorates).
